Recognised as a pioneer of interior design, Barbara Frua continues to redefine the relationship between spaces and the ground, infusing art into everyday life. Each new chapter of Par terre is at once an evolution and a reaffirmation one in which the designer expands her vocabulary of textures, materials, and colours while remaining true to herself. A Barbara Frua rug is a centrepiece, immediately recognisable for its characteristic chromatic sensibility and the refined simplicity of its designs.

Through a longstanding collaboration with Alberto Levi Gallery and the freedom to explore new creative directions, Barbara Frua has once again pushed boundaries, preserving her distinctive traits while venturing into new material territories.

Shark II is part of the new collection in hand-knotted Ghazni wool and Himalayan cashmere, the most luxurious additions to Par terre. This exquisite combination unites the silky quality of Afghan Ghazni wool with the extraordinary softness of Himalayan cashmere, creating a surface of unparalleled refinement while lending the designs a distinctive three-dimensionality.
